How to change Integration Services Catalog (SSISDB) database Master Key encryption password?

To change the Integration Services Catalog (SSISDB) database Master Key encryption password, run the following Transact-SQL statement:

USE [SSISDB];
GO

OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = N'[old_password]'; -- Password used when creating SSISDB
ALTER MASTER KEY REGENERATE WITH ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = N'[new_password]';
GO

In the above Transact-SQL fragment, we first open the Integration Services Catalog (SSISDB) database Master Key with the existing password, and then regenerated it with a new one.

Possible ways to secure SSIS Packages

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) security is based around several layers that provide a rich and flexible security environment. These layers of security include the use of digital signature, package properties, SQL Server database roles and operating system permissions.

Checkout my article here, in which I gave an overview of SQL Server Integration Services security, and explained these layers that enable us to assure our SSIS packages security.
